Details

This 1965 Corvette LS3 has undergone a full frame-off build. The body is finished in the original Nassau Blue with a blue and white interior. Its power comes from a LS3 6.2-liter engine with custom-built intake from LS Classics, keeping with the original theme. Custom-milled valve covers and valley plate with oil fill have been installed on the painted aluminum engine, and coils are relocated with custom brackets. The engine is backed by a 6-speed automatic transmission and a modified stock Powerglide shifter. It's also equipped with a Concept One accessory drive kit and Vintage Air. The engine bay has been smoothed and filled but painted satin black for a clean OEM look. Custom cast-iron exhaust manifolds flow into factory side pipes. Front and rear bumpers have been sectioned and fit tight to the body and are refinished in beautiful chrome. This car is sitting on a custom Hammertone powder-coated original chassis with QA1 coilovers at all four corners, as well as Van Steel offset trailing arms and tubular A-arms up front, and huge Wilwood brakes front and rear with drilled two-piece rotors. It's riding on 17-inch knock-off wheels that were custom-milled and polished by Curtis Speed, and are wrapped with red line tires.
